Then add beer, chicken broth, cumin, brown sugar, pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a low simmer and add brats. Let brats simmer in mixture 15-20 min. Then turn off heat and let them rest.

Take onion and cilantro and finely chop and place in bowl to set aside for later. Heat a pan on medium heat and butter the hot dog buns and put in pan until toasted and remove.

Take some peppers and onions, put on bun, with browned brats, and top with Chile lime aioli and cilantro and onions.
